The trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31 March 2024, together with the audited financial statements for the year which are prepared to meet the requirements for a director’s report and financial statements for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting for Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Purpose and activities
1. Our charitable purposes
We are the voice of age in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We were established in 1972 as Age Concern Cornwall and in October 2011, we became Age UK Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, a brand partner of Age UK formed by the merger of Age Concern England and Help the Aged.
We are the leading independent charity in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly working to improve the wellbeing of people in later life. Our organisation and its subsidiary company, Transport Access People (TAP), has five basic purposes:
-
i. To provide navigation, support, products and services that promote independence, control and choice;
-
ii. To provide support to communities, geographically and those of shared interest and/or identity, and volunteers so that they might offer support to individuals and families;
-
iii. To improve public awareness by providing opportunities for people as they age, and in later life, to have their voices heard and by transmitting the needs and views of older people;
-
iv. To support our staff teams to explore and promote new and creative ways of meeting established and newly identified needs affecting people, as they age, and in later life, their families, carers and communities; and
-
v. To work in partnership with others to promote wellbeing, individual and community resilience and sustainable support and services.
Our vision, mission, and principles
Our vision is about the art of what is possible; we want to make a reality of the future we all want and play an active role in nurturing communities where people have opportunities to flourish in later life.
Our mission is simple: “to improve the wellbeing of people in later life” and “to inspire people and communities to age and live well” . We will realise this through vital navigation, support and community engagement.
Our principles underpin what we do and form the backbone of our priorities and our plans.

For the year ended 31 March 2024
Purpose and activities (continued)
Our principles:
We are inclusive – we treat people as we would like to be treated ourselves and we will work with people of all ages, abilities, characteristics and lifestyles to enable and support well-being.
We are respectful – we are all human beings deserving of respect from one another.
We are positive – we focus on the positive aspects of later life and show what’s good about age. We can’t always do everything we could do when we were younger, but there are things that we can do now that we couldn’t before; things that we know now that we didn’t know before and sometimes time to do things that we couldn’t before.
We are truthful and realistic – we are honest, even if things are sometimes difficult to say. We talk openly and directly, truthfully and naturally; we will put the needs of people in later life above the organisational self-interest and we will be honest about what works and what doesn’t.
We offer solutions and benefits - people use and buy things that will benefit them. We provide services for people who are vulnerable, sometimes frail, isolated and lonely and we are proud of what we do. We will only provide products and services that improve quality of life.
Our values
We are a value based organisation and our values guide us with our approach and our aims. They also guide our service delivery, our training and our work with our partners.
Caring – we aim to be approachable, accessible, responsible and empathetic; caring about what people in later life think and what they need and the needs and ambitions of our staff and volunteers.
Effectiveness – we aim to have the best standards we can in all our services, focussing clearly on our Code of Conduct, continual improvement and being open to feedback and challenge.
Influencing – we aim to create opportunities to enable the voice of people to be heard on matters that concern them and to use their voices to change attitudes and perceptions of ageing.
Enabling – we aim to maximise individual independence by offering people as little or as much help as they need to help themselves and by brokering solutions with and on behalf of people.
Innovation – we aim to find new and diverse ways of doing things that meet the needs of people in later life and take managed risks in exploring new ways forward.

3. Our priorities
Our focus this year is to continue to evolve an organisational structure that is sustainable, financially balanced and creates a foundation that is fit for the future. We have four simple priorities:
-
To work with partners (VCSE and statutory) to expand our Gateway and advice services into a space for people to tell their story, to navigate to the right place at the right time and create connection between statutory services and all the community can offer.
-
To create sustainable and resilient care, transport connectivity and support services including working with local groups, organisations and partners to nurture a menu of support and an effective network of volunteers.
-
To work in partnership to create a range of holistic activities, products and services to meet people’s and communities’ needs.
-
To engage and support our staff and volunteer teams to take control of their activities, develop their skills, and prioritise their own well-being.
With our Executive Board, we have set measurements to assess success, including:
-
Consistently developing and reviewing our Gateway offer to ensure that at least 95% of contacts are supported to navigate and engage with the support that matters to them – this is measured by the satisfaction of callers.
-
Improving processes in volunteer recruitment to strengthen the number of volunteers supported into activities within 56 days of logging their interest with us.
-
Ensuring that all staff and volunteer teams have consistent induction and support; undergoing regular surveys, focus groups and discussions to embed a culture of well-being, positive challenge, continual improvement and self-responsibility.
-
Working in partnership with like-minded organisations to continue the development of a simple point of contact to community activity.
-
Meet the quality standards for information and advice as identified by Age UK national. To meet the accreditation standards required to underpin our services and contracts held.
-
Continue to develop an Innovation Investment plan with Trustees and our teams focusing on the development of new ideas, new ways of delivering existing services and, sustainable charging for services.

4. Our assets
Our ability to provide, thrive and survive is dependent on the quality of our staff team, our volunteers and on our funding.
Our employees
We are blessed with a quality of employees that any organisation would be proud of. Recent years have continued to be challenging and our focus has been on striving to create a workforce that is resilient, supportive, responsible, and engaged. Our Healthy Workplace Team pursues new ways to support our teams with hybrid working and through inclusive practice; together with team meetings, newsletters, blogs and forums. We are constantly finding opportunities to engage and respond to requests, ideas, compliments, and complaints, ensuring that each is used as a mechanism for review and improvement.
Our volunteers
Our work would not be possible without the commitment and contribution made by our bank of dynamic and professional volunteers who freely give their time for the benefit of seniors in the county and beyond. We have volunteers from a wide range of backgrounds making a tremendous difference to the quality of life of seniors and their families. Volunteers are the glue that holds rural communities such as ours together and we are privileged that so many decide to work with us to achieve our goals.
The charity is not just grateful but dependent on the unstinting efforts of its volunteers, including our Trustees, who are involved in all aspects of the provision of our services. The legacy from the pandemic and seemingly never-ending era of austerity continues to endure in the way volunteers want, and are able, to engage with us. It continues to impact on the availability of volunteers and the roles that they can fulfil. However, their willingness to get involved in activities that support those impacted by the contemporary challenges continues to be fantastic.
Our funders
We are indebted to all those who provide legacies, donate funds and provide resources in kind to our charity and we use this resource wisely and sensitively. Without such generosity, we would not be able to provide the range of support and services to our seniors in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
5. Our Subsidiary Companies
TAP – Transport Access People
Our TAP subsidiary company continued to generate ideas and solutions to the transport difficulties experienced by vulnerable people in Cornwall and beyond during the year. It has been referenced in several national reviews on partnership working and the subject of national interest. We are indebted to our superb Director of Transport, the transport team and volunteer drivers for their hard work, their continued ability to take on more work and their enduring commitment.
Following the loss of one of the TAP commissioned contracts, the board of directors have considered the viability of this company moving forwards and have agreed that TAP will cease to trade from 1 February 2025. The team and senior managers have been working with the support of trustees to manage this decision, mindful that there are people who rely on the service for access to health, and important, appointments.

Trustees’ annual report
For the year ended 31 March 2024
Purpose and activities (continued)
The future of these services is never clear with a constant rolling programme of contracting however we are confident that with appropriate adjustments to the operational model TAP can continue to offer a unique and creative solution to transport in Cornwall and beyond.
Age Concern Cornwall Trading
Age Concern Cornwall Trading ceased trading at the end of March 2018.
Employee and service user involvement
Employees and service users have been consulted on issues of concern to them by means of regular meetings, newsletters, and forum. Our steering groups, team meetings, newsletters and forums are opportunities to engage and respond to requests, ideas and complaints ensuring that each is used as a mechanism for review and improvement.
All staff have given outstanding and supportive service during 2023/2024. For those no longer on the “payroll” we wish them well. For those still with us, “keep up the good work”.
Fundraising
Age UK Cornwall and The Isles of Scilly carries out fundraising across all areas of the charity and employs a part time Charity Fundraiser who takes responsibility for our relationship with external bodies and businesses, who promote the organisation and where corporate fundraising takes place.
Small amounts are raised by our Day Centres through fetes, raffle type activities, and sponsored events.
The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and has complied with the scheme at all times.
The Charity has not received any complaints regarding any aspect of its fundraising activities and is mindful of the need to protect vulnerable people, many of whom attend our day centres and related events.
As a charity committed to supporting people in later life, we seek to ensure that all staff and volunteers involved in the charity adhere to our Code of Conduct, which not only respects the rights and freedoms of our teams but also the people supported through all of our activities.

Expenditure and services
Transport Access People at a cost of £919,898 (2023: £1,008,284) and Active Living at a cost of £863,537 (2023: £610,767) continue to be a significant part of the group’s activities, as is Gateway Support Programme at a cost of £632,785 (2023: £227,158), Home & Hospital at a cost of £764,456 (2023: £344,675), Social Prescribing (Cornwall) at a cost of £415,342 (2023: £342,323) and Inclusion Matters at a cost of £139,354 (2023: £165,572).
Reserves policy
Sufficient funds are required to be held in the reserves of Age UK Cornwall & The Isles of Scilly to provide:
-
Working capital equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure
-
Protection against the unpredicted loss of funding and
-
A hedge against liabilities
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the charity’s unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (‘the free reserves’) held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the resources expended, which equates to £1,200,000 in general funds. At this level the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity. In the event of a significant drop in funding, it would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed.
At the end of March 2024, the free reserves, which amount to £1,103,986 held in the general fund, are slightly below this this range.
Sufficient reserves should be retained under each of the restricted funds to meet the charity’s obligations under that fund.
The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the Trustees quarterly and forms part of the responsibilities of the Finance Sub Committee.

Fund accounting policy
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the general work of the Charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Investment policy and objectives
In view of the limited financial reserves available to finance the operations of the charity, the Trustees have decided that it would not be appropriate to invest surplus funds long term. Instead the funds are invested in a COIF Charities Deposit Fund in order to be readily available to meet any short-term cash requirements.

Risk management strategy
Unanticipated risks and unintended events can present risks to the charity and others. Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly has a better chance of averting the risks if everyone concerned makes informed choices and decisions based on the best possible information and an analysis of the options available. We cannot avert all risks, but we can take precautions to lessen the impact with good planning and well considered and timely responses.
The process for developing a risk management strategy involves people at all levels of the organisation and includes:
-
The risk assessment phase including gathering information, reviewing potential risks and an analysis of our organisational strengths and weaknesses.
-
The risk analysis stage focusing on categorising and prioritising the risks identified.
-
The risk management phase including the development of a plan to deal with risks, agreeing and communicating the plan and reviewing the organisational policies and practices.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives set.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure of the group and charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards has been followed; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement of disclosure to auditor
In so far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the group and charitable company’s auditors are unaware. Additionally, the trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group and charitable company’s auditors are aware of that information.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provision of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
In approving the Trustees’ Annual Report, we also approve the Strategic report included therein, in our capacity as company directors.

Conclusions relating to going concern

-
the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 14, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
-
Obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006;
-
Review of the disclosures in the financial statements and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
Enquiries of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings and correspondence with regulators;
-
Performing audit work in connection with the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries for reasonableness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for potential bias.
We also communicate relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit approach also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the company for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud being in respect of cut off and completion risk around revenue recognition. Under ISA (UK) we are also required to undertake procedures to respond to the risk of management override of controls. Our procedures included the following:
17
Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (Limited by Guarantee) Trading as Age UK Cornwall & the Isles of Scilly
Independent auditors’ report to the members of Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (Limited by Guarantee)
· Undertaking transactional testing on revenue
· Performing cut off testing on income
· Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale for significant transactions outside the normal course of business
· Reviewing estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and its trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2 Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been adopted in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the preparation of the company’s financial statements.
2.1
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
These financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest £.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in respect of Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Transport Access People Limited and Age Concern Cornwall Trading Limited. The results of Transport Access People Limited and Age Concern Cornwall Trading Limited have been incorporated into the consolidated statement of financial activities and the consolidated balance sheet on a line by line basis.
2.2 Income
Voluntary income is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Intangible income is not included unless it represents goods or services which would otherwise be purchased.
Legacies are recognised in the financial statements in the period to which the charity becomes entitled to the income, unless it is incapable of financial measurement.
Income from trading activities is recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided).
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions it is recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided). Grant income included in this category provides funding to support performance activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income is deferred when performance related grants are received in advance of the activity to which they relate.
2.3
Expenditure
Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the expense to which it relates. Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred.
Governance costs represent the cost of relevant staff and office costs, board expenses, audit and accountancy fees.

2 Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Expenditure (continued)
The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Certain shared costs are apportioned to activities in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Shared staff costs and office costs are apportioned on the basis of the estimated usage by each cost centre of services provided.
2.4 Funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets the criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for any of the charity’s objectives.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Endowment funds capital is required to be retained in perpetuity.
2.5 Pension costs
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
2.6 Operating leases
Rental charges are charged in the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the life of the lease.
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets over £1,000 are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Fixtures and fittings: | |
|---|---|
| - Furniture | 10 years |
| - Telephone system | 5 years |
| - Electrical equipment | 1 – 3 years |
| Motor vehicles | 5 - 10 years |
| Electric Vehicles & Chargepoints | 7 years |
2.8 Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated in the financial statements at cost. Current asset investments are stated at valuation. The aggregate surplus or deficit on annual revaluation is transferred to a revaluation reserve.
2.9 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Donated goods are not valued when held as stock.
